Random MSN Gibberings LXXIV: Don't call me Syd Barrett, baby...

[Albion]

Last night I dreamt I scored some heroin, got hold of some needles and shot up. It felt really fucking good, though probably nothing like what shooting up actually feels like.

Talk about having an unhealthy obsession with drugs...

 

[Acidtek]

Also when I dream about tripping I normally have loads of tabs in the dream and each one has a different blotter art, which I interpret as my brain reminding me that you never know how your tabs gonna effect you, I mean it's all the same drug but the fact they have different says to me each trip is different! I don't know if that makes sense because I'm not the most articulate!

and each tab can vary in strength

i rarely dream cos i smoke too much weed. last dream was about all my teeth falling out- i had a dentists appointment the next day. luckily my teeth are fine.

 

[ColtDan]

thinking and feeling so sorry for all the lonely old people who are going to be on their own this christmas, people with no family left, people who are homeless etc, a lot of us are pretty lucky. must be such a shit situation

 

[Acidtek]

I often dream of my teeth falling out too, it's apparently quite a common anxiety dream, no source for that, not that I see how there could be because I believe that dreams are so personal thought only the individual can interprit them

Couldn't imagine having no family or friends.

If only BL was a small country. We could all live together and keep each other company.

Does anyone else feel more isolated as they get older?

Maybe it's just me! 8(

yes. its fucking awful. try and donate some christmas treats or even blankets to local hostels/charities, small gestures do bring some temporary but genuine relief. we did invite an old man who was going to spend christmas alone over one year- turned out he was alone cos he was a mardy shite, so i wouldn't recommend going that far!

acid- i can believe its a common anxiety dream. you're right that we're all very different, and that will be reflected in the range of dreams, but there being some commonality doesn't detract from our individuality. thoughts, and hence dreams, are essentially emergent phenomena (there are probably many layers of emergence...), and one distinct property of these phenomena is that they are independent of the precise details of the things that make them up- think about the effect changing the colour of a few cars would have on a traffic jam. this could explain why we get similar dreams about similar thigns, even though the things in particular are intensely personal.

grrr in trying to stay concise i've probably made no sense whatsoever.

 

[ColtDan]

another common anxiety dream is feeling, being chased by something, etc. one of those things. i used to dream of getting chased through fields by some big monster thing, similar to that fucker from "jeepers creepers", except i couldnt really look at it. still can picture those dreams vividly in my head. some of my dreams are fucking mental, although they dont seem to be as good these days. if only we could record our dreams... imagine how strange that would be. trippy

as for the lonely people thing, when im off my tits around town this christmas im gonna do my usual thing and go and chat to some homeless people inbetween raves, clubs, pubs etc. end up speaking to so many random people, have some very deep convos. spent so long chatting, giving away change and cigs whilst drunk, on meph, or mdma, or all of them lol.

hope i dont live to end up really old and lonely, or in some carehome forgotton about, being abused and losing my mind and pissing myself... sod that

anybody else think technology is slowly isolating people? social networking sites, forums. makes some people socially lazy

Yes. Even television is bad enough.

In rehab we weren't allowed to watch T.V except on the weekends.

The time spent in there was awesome.

So much more goings on. People having a laugh, interacting, reading books, playing board games & having real conversations.

It just doesn't seem to happen as much with all this tech around.

 

[Acidtek]

Chinup I think I hear ya! Lol

You seem to be a very deep thinker, as I am too! I think most of eadd think very deeply, maybe that's why a lot of us have similar issues!

Colt, I dream about being chased and not being able to shout for help, then wale myself up shouting! Lol

Ok, I've consulted my girlfriend's "Dream Dictionary from A to Z" (I know...) and there it says about teeth dreams:

"Dreaming about teeth falling out represents feelings of insecurity or inadequacy, and such dreams often occur at transition times in a person's life. This is because losing your milk teeth is associated with the loss of childhood innocence. The dream could also highlight anxieties about getting older."


Nothing in the book about tripping, but I know in my case it's because I received some 4-ho-met the other day and I'm eager to try it.

 

[mrsusan]

Dreaming about being chased:

"The way we respond to anxiety and pressure in real life is typically manifested as a chase dream. ... Chase dreams represent your way of coping with fears, stress and various situations in your waking life. Instead of confronting the situation you are running away and avoiding it."


I love all this pseudo-science nonsense

 

[Mailmonkey]

I had a girlfriend years ago , about 20 years ago, she had a dream dictionary...

full of fucking shite like, "if you dream of bagpipes....." "if you dream of elderberries....."

I had one of them. Best one was 'If you dream of giraffes, perhaps you are overstretched, or stretching your neck out too much for others' etc

Those books are priceless.

 

[Mailmonkey]

hahahha, yeah, remember we only used to get it out if we were tripping, fucking hilarious.

 

[mrsusan]

^ Now there's an idea...

 

[brimz]

Had the scan , n it was not as bad as i thought

although my veins are never gonna get better & cos of previous dvts and stuff ,my fem vein has shrunk , therefore not much blood gets to the leg , especially my calf which is where the pain n swelling is worse cos the blood finds it hard 2 get their

So i didn't have a clot & i was shitting it that i could .
I didn't get the usuall lecture- the " Why do you abuse your body " followed by the pity .

i mat still have to do the warfarin treatment .

So i celebrated n bought a .8 and .4 of w . but i got it on the jimmy & pipe , Tis a nice bitta kit tbh .

Thanks for all yer kind w2ishes , it w2as nice%)

^ Jimmy & pipe?


As for the weird dreams I've had some absolutely bonkers dreams, there's a thread about it from ages ago I'll dig up. I remember once after a heavy weekend of MDMA/2c-i/ket I had weird dreams my mums mate was trying to kidnap me, only difference was my mums mate, who is actually pretty hot, blonde, tall and nice. Well her blonde hair was missing, instead her hair resembled something between Friar Tuck and a bald headed eagle. Properly bizzare, they tried to take me to some weird volcano where they were hiding out. That MDMA was the best MD I've ever had, transparent crystal and so loved up and prone to shit talking etc. By fuck though every time I battered loads of it there'd be a crazy/frightening dream after the weekend when went home. Nuts.

It just doesn't seem to happen as much with all this tech around.

Got to agree Cornish! TV is the most mind numbing thing ever. I try to make a point of switching it off when I realise I'm just watching complete tripe, better off watching a movie on the laptop. Facebook is another huge timewaster for alot of people I'm sure (me included), think I'm going to have a break in the new year and disable my account for a while.

 

[Acidtek]

^^ jimmy is foil and he's on about a crack pipe!

Enjoy your celebrations brimz mate, I'm glad it's 'not as bad' as you were worrying about! Hope you get better soon brimz mate! Again enjoy

P.s good on you for the alternative to the pin! I know how hard that can be! %)

You are one sick, sick boy. Freud would be getting moist at the thought of analysing that.
